Who, What, When, Where, and Why(1pts) 1.Who invented the law of conservation of mass?
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier: In a chemical reaction, matter is neither
created nor destroyed. 2. What is the law of conservation of mass? The principle that in any closed system subjected to no external forces, the mass is constant irrespective of its changes in form; the principle that matter cannot be created or destroyed. 3. When was the law of conservation of mass discovered? The Law of Conservation of Mass (or Matter) in a chemical reaction can be stated thus: In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed. It was discovered by Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-94) about 1785 4. Where does the law of conservation of mass apply? The Law of Conservation of Mass applies as the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of... The Law of Conservation of Mass tells us that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction 5. Why is the law of conservation of mass? The law of conservation of mass is very important to the study and production of chemical reactions. If scientists know the quantities and identities of reactants for a reaction, they can predict the amounts of products that will be made.

Law of Conservation of Matter summary in my own
words(2pts)
I’m going to take the regular definition and try to
summarize it to a way I understand it, and maybe you too. The definition law of conservation of matter is that the principle that matter cannot be created or destroyed but I can change. That definition alone is simple enough but maybe you can think of it as paper getting burned. light molecules, heat and vapors would be equal to the paper. candy getting smashed into candy, or lice to water to steam, its basically a simple thing to understand.

An interview with Anthony Cruz(3pts)
I asked a couple of my friends about the topic and they
wasn’t too keen on the interview, but my good friend Anthony knew a good portion of the standard, so I asked him a few questions. The first question I asked was a simple,” What is the law of conservation of matter?” He wasn’t quick to answer but it took a couple seconds for him to answer. At first, he asked me for clarification if the answer he said was right. He said,” is it the thing where you can’t destroy it or something?” When he said that I knew that he needed a refresher because he was on the right track. So, I told him “yea, you said a piece of it, it’s the principle that matter can’t be destroyed nor created.” In addition, as soon as I said that he added “but It can be changed” And that’s facts. I also asked if he can think of any examples and he knew some examples, he said “paper and like liquid, and things you can rip or tear.” All of those are right and I didn’t debate at all. So, after about 5 min, we went on to class before the bell rung. Law of conservation of matter
Relating the standard to a real-world situation(4pts)
As I was figuring out a situation I was trying to find a good thought out one because there are a lot of small ones like paper, candy, water, wood, metal, etc. a lot of easy thought of examples. So, the example is not that complex, imagine you enter a closed system, a room that is perfectly sealed where nothing can enter the room, and nothing can escape. In this closed system, you light a candle and let it burn, watching as some of the wax seems to disappear as the flame travels down the wick. Though much of the wax itself is no longer present in its original form, all the mass of the wax is still present in the room, anything that has mass, including matter and energy, cannot be created or destroyed. That means, mass cannot simply appear out of nowhere and equally it cannot disappear. Matter may change forms however, giving the illusion of nothing out of something or vice versa, but the mass of the matter is always the same before and after the change. So, in conclusion the wax isn’t gone its physical properties changed. Law of conservation of matter
How would I prove or disprove ideas about the
standard(5pts) There are lots of ways to prove ideas about the standard, of course there is a lot of examples to demonstrate too. Paper, (I know I used paper often but that’s only because it gets as simple as that) you can rip it, its still paper, you can fold it, it is still paper. Candy you can break it, its still candy. Or if you want to break it down, it can be any physical properties such as: 1. Evaporation- liquid to gas 2. Condensation- Gas to liquid 3. Freezing- liquid to solid 4. Sublimation- solid to gas 5. Melting- solid to liquid water 6. Deposition- gas(vapor) to solid And there is probably more but, I proved enough to the point where you’ll understand what I’m proving.
